Pretty Solid:
Wake Forest is the first to check-in ranked in CFN’s top 40 as the Demon Deacons come in at No. 39. They have to replace quarterback Jamie Newman who transferred to Georgia but compared to where Wake Forest football has been, this is a program that has taken great strides in recent years.
Stanford may not be on Notre Dame’s final schedule for 2020 but the annual rival was set to play under the lights in South Bend before last week’s cancellation. Since they’re an annual rival you may find it interesting that even after the meltdown the Cardinal had in 2019, Fiutak ranks them 35th nationally.
Louisville was the laughing stock of Power Five football just two seasons ago. Enter Scott Satterfield and a year later they’re on the verge of being a Top 25 team as Fiutak has them pegged at No. 32.
